La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed an intercepted phone call between Andrea Agnelli and John Elkann, where the pair discussed Juventus’ usage of capital gains. 

The Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office reportedly believe that everyone in the club’s management knew about the system used to balance the books in the Piedmont capital. The Bianconeri have been accused of falsifying their capital gains in their financial statements from 2018 to 2021, and a phone call between Agnelli and Elkann seemingly confirms this. 

In September 2021, Agnelli told the Exor CEO that “we have always taken risks and the board has always been informed that they have been taken and corrections have always been found along the way.”

Elkann did not seem surprised by this, responding: “Yes, however, as you remember you said that in the end there was, on the part of the sporting management, they expanded. There are a whole series of deals that they did.”

Agnelli then reportedly mentioned “the excessive use of the instrument of capital gains, if the market collapses on you, the market collapses on you! This is a fact.”

The Exor CEO then mentioned coach Massimiliano Allegri, who he stated must be careful “not to say that the policies that have been made in recent years were foolish, a lot of money was spent on players who they don’t know. Those were the prerogatives of the market at the time, now you have to manage things as best you can, in the end who cares what others have done before.”

Agnelli agreed with this, concluding: “Yes, I agree.”

A number of deals between Juventus and other clubs are currently in the crosshairs of the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office, such as the deal that took Cristian Romero move from Juventus to Atalanta and then Tottenham in August 2021. Other clubs that have been mentioned include Atalanta, Sampdoria, Sassuolo, Empoli and Udinese

4 thought on “Agnelli and Elkann talked Juventus capital gains in intercepted call”
  1. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen because nothing illegal have been done. For starters doing capital gains is not a criminal offence it’s a financial term. It almost seems like the media is trying to change the defenition of the word. As for the so called missing payment. Players agreed to pospone some months of payment so why would they show up in the balance sheets as that’s the whole point of posponing them…

  2. CALMAAA!!! Keefo and stop with the crack pipe. My powers are so immense, I don’t even have to comment to bring out the woke zombies.
